How could the whole world's computers be brought down by ONE companies software ? We are hugely vulnerable to the bad guys !!!
-
Stop saying there was a ‘Microsoft Outage’ Blame belongs exclusively to CrowdStrike.

It's Y2K, 24.5 years later.

Crowdstrike says "My bad" and everyone looks the other way.

All eggs in one basket is not a good idea.
-
So CrowdStrike did the hacker's job for them?

Looks like a dry run. Keep your paychecks in cash, people.

CrowdStrike...? Strike a crowd or the planet? What a name!
-
Well this is just a gentle reminder of how fragile all of this really is! One messed up update - and you get a whirlwind of chaos! Buckle up people, this is not the last event!
-
For all the people who say this is what happens. Really? Seems pretty significant to me, and at a global level? No, this isnt something that just happens. No matter the reason. It is good to acknowledge our moments of weakness. Its how we keep stuff in order. Do not normalize poor quality control.

"It takes a while to get a fix , since our customersrs are still testing our software update". Either Crowdstrike did not do proper testing or they got hacked and their update got infected with rogue code that they failed to detect. Either way it's a terrible look for a cyber security firm selling endpoint protection.

I certainly wouldn’t want to be an employee or contractor of Crowdstrike right now !!!! Sounds like someone fell asleep at the wheel 😮😮😮😮

We couldn't make payroll because of this outage. 3,000 employees! We're suing them.

When Bill go to the Gate, he realized how his is micro and soft 😂
-
Is this the beginning?
-
crowdstrike finally served the purpose of it's name !!

I agree, this will happen again. Autoimmune reactions and false positives by these sentinel tools will be what hackers and hack bots will leverage next.

He who holds the keys rules.

I bet their stock price took a hit😢
